Aha … they've compared the distribution at the emitter point with the distribution at the detector point (730km away). The clocks at the emitter and receiver are GPS-synchronised to a precision of 2ns, so the 60ns detected is much larger than any systematic error.
The distribution arrives at the detector 60ns earlier than the light propagating in a vacuum.

Interesting …

Cheers
